Background: We are running BES 2.2 (2.2.5 if I recall) for Lotus Notes/Domino. My device is a 7520 (Nextel). I can send/receive e-mail, browse the web from the 7520. MDS is running and enabled for me. IPPP Desktop is in my Service Book. I can go to http://bes_server:8080 from a PC and view the MDS status.

I got a 30-day demo of Flowfinity, a forms/reports application for the Blackberry. One of the first steps on installation is to install a client on the device, which I have done, and this client has a "BES connectivity test". I run the test, which asks for the name/ip address of the BES server and the port number for MDS, which is 8080 in our case.

I found one article on RIM's web site that seems to say there is some sort of issue with the mapping of my e-mail address and the PIN, but gives no information on how to fix it. But if that were the case, it would seem to me that I would be getting e-mail or be able to browse the web from my device. When I look at the BES log files at the lines prior to the above error, it appears to "know" that it is me.
